Dystopian Dreams

XARGON
Listening to this you can easily imagine being part of some 80's dystopian thriller. I'm not too fussed on the vocals but tracks like 'The Man from the Company' more than make up for this.
Favorite track: The Man From The Company.

Maiyannah Bishop
A very cyberpunk-y dark synth that serves as a great backdrop for such themes. The vocals are a bit more miss than hit to me, but the lead track and The Company man, alone, are worth the cost of admission. Very classical 80s-filmy synth, that 'retro' vibe so often sought, and not only executed well, but composed well, with good variations in pace, theme, and tempo.
Favorite track: The Man From The Company.

Jack Kelley
I have the cassette and i make a note to listen to it on a semi-regular basis, or whenever i feel like hearing cyberpunk. Or whenever i feel like pretending to play with the ZX Spectrum I never had or will ever have. That works too.
Favorite track: Pursuit Through The Ruins Of The Old City.

Martyn Stonehouse
What a great collection of songs showing real diversity from Ex- Machina - an album not to be missed. Mysterious, dark and a little hopeful in places... the soundtrack to our uncertain future...
Favorite track: Love Scene.
